The sudden need to look her over and poke and prod at every little hole that remained from the last ammunition round that had gone into her had Eika feeling just a [i]little[/i] embarrassed...If not happy for receiving the attention in the first place. With one of her hands resting on her orbs, she rubbed the back of her head as her body was loaded down by yet another dose of healing magicks. ...Oh, there was the questioning that she was waiting to get assaulted with. A clearing of the throat, and Eika eventually sat up in order to stare her Instructor face to face while she answered him with the upmost respect.

The words came out before she could correct them...Oh well, she'd already kissed him in front of the others. She might as well go the whole way now. There was no point in trying to hide any "emotional conflicts" that came with trying to act out the "student" role without...these complicated notions. 

[color=#990099]"...The kiss wasn't just because I needed your magic, Instructor. ...I really am glad you're safe. Punish me later, if you'd like. But while we're here..."[/color]

Standing up finally, the girl made one hell of a risky AND taboo motion. The prior kiss had had a reason behind it, and that was for her to recover from her fatigue. But in this moment? The pressing of her lips against his was one to display actual emotion beyond just a mere student caring for her teacher. A [i]romantic[/i] gesture, if one needed to have the obvious pointed out to them -- which Duncan might, with how he could fluster so quickly and...ahem. Only two words were all she could give after this silly little attempt.

[color=#990099]"Elixir, please.~"[/color]

...Did she mean...? ...Well, that was one way to make a phrase seem innocent.
